The contour method is a technique for destructively quantifying the residual stress in metallic components stemming from processing inputs. While the requirements for employing this technique are fairly minimal as it often requires only electro discharge machining and metrology facilities, the experimental and analysis aspects are non-trivial. In this presentation, the experimental aspects which need to be considered as well as analytical paradigms will be described.
This Royce Training course will explore basic practices and techniques for cleanroom use. Through a combination of taught lectures, discussion sessions, and practical training participants will gain fundamental skills for working in ‘clean-fab’ cleanrooms. The content will develop theoretical and practical knowledge in processes such as lithography, deposition, and etching; with participants using what they learn to fabricate a micro-scale Field Effect Transistor.
This seminar from Surface Ventures will cover: The role of metal-ion irradiation in thin film growth, advancements in High-Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HiPIMS), Nanostructure control pathways with light and heavy metal ions, low-temperature synthesis of hard; stress-free ceramic coating and the discovery of Guinier-Preston (GP) zone hardening in cubic-TiAlWN.
X-ray powder diffraction is one of the most common in-house characterisation methods, used to provide information on a host of different samples including metals, ceramics, battery materials and pharmaceuticals. This course will explore powder diffraction refinement techniques used to analyse the data obtained.
